401 & 415 W Glenside Avenue Carwash
401&415 W Glenside Avenue, Cheltenham, PA · Plan review · 1.49 acres
About this project
Two neighboring lots at 401 and 415 West Glenside Avenue in Cheltenham would be merged into one 1.49-acre lot to expand the existing car wash. The self-vacuum stalls would move onto the vacant lot, and the layout for cars waiting for the wash tunnel would change, with a new landscaping plan. The lot at 415 is already vacant after an industrial building there was torn down in 2023.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: Cover letter and plan set disagree on the number of driveways, Second driveway onto Glenside Avenue, a major collector, should be emergency-only, Existing 55.2-foot driveway should be narrowed and restriped, Interior wayfinding needed for queuing cars
